Welcome to The Outlawz Challenges Blog!!!

Welcome to the new home of the Outlawz Challenges!!

The Outlawz Challenges were originally created in 2011 as a place for craft loving people to meet and enjoy sharing their love of craft and their creations with each other.

And nothing has changed!

While it's been a great 11 years with the website, we have decided to leave it behind and venture into the world of blogs in the hopes of reaching more creative people.

We still have multiple challenges for you to join so please make sure you follow up so you don’t miss out on any announcements!

For those of you newly joining us, with the exception of two, all of our challenges run for a fortnight (bi-weekly). Please note that there are tabs at the top of this page that you can click on for more detailed information about each challenge as well as direct links to each challenge blog.

General overall rules can be found in Site Rules Tab above as well as each individual challenge. As each challenge may have rules specific to it, please make sure to read, respect and follow the given rules on this and any other site we operate.

Below is a quick rundown of all the challenges currently running under The Outlawz Challenges:

These challenges run fortnightly/bi-weekly

Monday Greetings Challenge

You will be provided with a theme and your cards/projects must meet the theme as well have a sentiment on the front of your card or project to be eligible to win

Challenge colors should be clearly visible and in the majority on your project. If you will be adding other colors, they should be less visible than the challenge colors.

This is an Anything Goes Challenge which means you can enter anything you want but each week there is a fun optional twist added which, if you use, will get you an additional chance for the prize.
